Game Theory

In this course, students will become strategic masterminds through a dynamic, project-based exploration of Game Theory, a mathematical framework designed for understanding strategic interactions among rational decision-makers. Students will apply game theory to real-world scenarios like auctions, political campaigns, and even animal behavior. Students will analyze iconic games like the Prisoner's Dilemma, dissecting everyday situations with powerful tools like Nash equilibrium. Building models, conducting simulations, and participating in interactive games will hone their strategic intuition and test their predictions. In addition, by exploring the ethical complexities of strategic manipulation, students will analyze the impact of game theory on society and even peek into its future applications in artificial intelligence and economics. Prepare to think like a game theorist and discover the power of strategic thinking.
